    Overall, my experience was great. Aric provided a easy, fast, and professional service with helping me set up my insurance claim and other services I wanted on my car. The painter did a beautiful job with blending the paint because I needed to have my hood, driver door, and fender fixed and painted. They also detailed my car so I don't have to do it myself, because I usually pay for it to be done anyway. My only issue is the same door handle from my damaged driver door was used with the new driver door. Which has a small paint chip, and from a glance you maybe wouldn't see it, but I have an eye for detail, and I noticed the same paint chip which would mean it was not replaced with the new door. Which for me is fine, but not many such as myself, would know exactly what was covered as far as the door replacement goes, so I kind of wish that was a bit more clear on that part.

    Having a damaged car sucks. Having a body shop like KW Auto helps you embrace the suck in the least stressful way possible. From arranging with the insurance company, getting the estimate, arranging the drop off and pick up, KW auto works with you and making the whole experience manageable. I was able to pick up my car earlier than the estimated timeframe and was pleased with their work. Additional plus...my car was returned washed and vacuumed. Highly recommend if you're looking for an auto body shop.

    Flawless work....

    I have had work performed here on 2 occasions. In both instances, the car was finished ahead of schedule, and the work was flawless. Paint natch was spot on, and the repair was undetectable. Personnel are courteous, informative, and professional. Can't ask for more.

    I got rear ended while trying to park at Walmart. I was pretty irritated because I had family visiting and it just wasn't something I wanted to deal with. definitely glad everyone was ok and the accident wasn't more serious. The other driver's insurance handled the claim. The insurance called me and asked where I wanted to do my repairs. I've never had to go to an autobody shop and had no clue what autobody shop to choose here in Honolulu. I pretty much chose KW autobody repair shop because of Yelp (Thanks Yelpers!). The reviews were great and I focused on comments about the shop providing a smooth, stress free process and satisfaction with the repair. I dropped off my car and after farther assessment, the shop found underpaying damage and my bumper had to be replaced. My car was in the shop for about two and half days. When I picked up my car, the repair looked great. They also vacuumed my car, so it was clean when it was returned. The whole process was quick and stress free. The customer service was great. They kept me updated and informed. Highly recommend this autobody shop!

    They did such an amazing job... Best costumer service...

    This review is long overdue, but absolutely deserved…read more Lee has been incredibly good to me from the start -- treating me with genuine aloha and real pride in the work he does. The job I needed wasn't collision-related; it was a full aesthetic upgrade. I wanted to completely change the color of my Tacoma, and after Yelp showed me a bunch of options, I decided to visit Lee in person to see what he was about. I'm not much of a car guy, so this whole process was new to me. Because it was an expensive project, I came in cautious and ready to keep my guard up. But after meeting him, that guard dropped fast. Lee is passionate, ambitious, and fully committed to doing things the right way. He walked me through everything with honesty and integrity -- never once taking advantage of the fact that I didn't know much about cars. Instead, he supported me, educated me, and made sure I felt confident every step of the way. After agreeing to his estimate, I handed over my keys the following week, and he went to work. About a month later, I saw my truck in a completely new light -- literally. It wasn't charcoal grey anymore; it was Space White, a modern cool‑tone metallic white originally introduced by Ford in 2020. It's a unique two‑tone shade that looks grey in the shade and bright white in the sun. I found it by accident while searching for a white that wasn't "company truck white," and Lee was just as excited about the choice as I was. From start to finish, he delivered amazing work. This was the best investment I've ever made for my 2015 Tacoma (still under 50k miles!), and I'm genuinely grateful I trusted him with it. If you're looking for someone who cares, communicates, and takes pride in their craft, Lee is the one.

I was off island until that evening. They were closed 7 June and I picked it up 8 June. The repainted color I am satisfied with but the detail work was mediocre at best. There is a ton of overspray on the rubber around the windows and rear view mirrors. Additionally, there are already a few chips in the paint in a few spots which will be a problem in the near future. This has been months of frustration. I am now just over it and will not return to this establishment again for paint work. I will say that the manager was apologetic about the delays due to staffing issues but honestly due to the way this was handled initially, I should have been a top priority and more detail and attention should have been given to my vehicle. In the manager's defense, he did take matters into his hands and conducted a majority of the work himself and I am appreciative of that. I have spent the last 2 hours attempting to clean up the overspray and it will take me several more to get it all removed. Overall , I wish this would have been handled better but you live and you learn. Again, I am satisfied with the color but not the delays in service nor the level of attention to detail. I paid a pretty penny for my vehicle and the paint job was not cheap. The expectations were high but not met. This is my honest assessment and I have no hard feelings towards the establishment nor the folks I have dealt with during this process. Mahalo!

    I had a paint job for my Versa, and the shop removed the letters and car insignia on the trunk door…read moreof the station wagon. They replaced the large insignia, but they said that I would have to put back the small letters myself. Also while cleaning the car for an inspection, in addition to finding the small letters for the trunk door, I found water in my wheel well for the spare tire in the trunk. I told them that they forgot to reattach the other end of a plastic tube that ran rain water in the trunk door top right corner. They said that they don't detach that. But they had detached the rubber foam seal on trunk door when they painted the car. The seal is in the same area of the door as the plastic tube. If I had known ahead of time about the small letters, I might not have gotten the work done there. Usually shops will replace whatever they took off the car, and not leave everything inside the car for the owner to put back. To be fair, they did put back some of the stuff I found in the car after I picked up the car- like the car insignia, the rubber foam seal on the trunk door.

    I normally don't leave reviews, but I feel obligated to share our experience…read more Our 2011 Toyota RAV4 has been at Encore Collision since October 2025 for repairs. Over several months, we were repeatedly told that work was in progress, parts were on order, or that the vehicle was nearing completion. It's March 31, 2026 and it is still not finished. However, during multiple in-person visits, there has been little to no visible progress. Communication has been inconsistent, and there were times we arrived during business hours and no one was available. We understand that delays can happen, but the lack of transparency and follow-through has been extremely frustrating and completely unacceptable. We also observed signage indicating BBB accreditation; however, the BBB website currently lists this business as not accredited, which was confusing and concerning. At this point, we have had to escalate the matter in order to seek resolution. We hope this can still be resolved professionally, but based on our experience, we would strongly advise others to proceed with caution as there are many red flags despite the positive reviews.

We needed to get that fixed along with the bumper. We took it to Encore and they quoted us $3700. A few days later they called and said that it would be another $400 for a part. Two days later they said that it would be another $200. When we finally went to pick up the car we saw that the bumper was fixed. They also fixed some other things in the front, since it was pushed back. When I inquired about the fix for the anti-freeze the guy had no idea what I was talking about. We had a new bottle of anti-freeze in the trunk and they put it in the car for us. It didn't leak out, which was a good sign. We drove it to Costco a block down and saw that all the anti-freeze was leaking out. We called the guy and dropped the car off again. He called the next day and said it would cost $800 to fix the anti-freeze leak. A day later he called and said it would be another $400 to fix the inverter. All in all, the hubby paid around $6000 for something they quoted as $3700. That plus the fact that they had our car for over three weeks. When we finally picked up the car they did give us a complimentary car wash, which we appreciated. We've had the car back for four days now and thankfully it's running smoothly.

Cole took the trouble to explain to me what was done and even what materials he used to get the job done. Highly recommended.

Insurance told me to get a quote at another auto body shop for the repairs (rear bumper detached, wiring for reverse sensors detached, rear leg quarter panel above the tire dented and scratched). That shop quoted me about $8K for all the repairs! FYI, I have a 2013 elantra. Insurance deemed my vehicle to be a "total loss" because the amount of the repairs was about the same cost of the vehicle's value. So my choices were to give up my vehicle which still worked perfectly fine despite missing a rear bumper, and then recruited a check for the vehicle's value...or keep the vehicle and receive a smaller check and find an autobody shop that could fix the damages for cheaper than the initial quote by the first autobody shop. A friend recommended Mapunapuna Auto Body and I also checked out their limited reviews on yelp, yes I trust my fellow yelp users! Then I decided to check em out! Ben (the owner) quoted me right under $2 grand, which was a fourth of the initial auto body shop's estimate. I couldn't believe it and thought it was too good to be true. Despite this low number, I said let's do it! Let's just say after visiting a few times (not just one and done) for the repairs, Ben did great work and even took out a scratch on my door that had been bothering me for years but didn't get around to fixing. I'll definitely be back for Ben's assistance in any future car repairs and have recommended his shop to my friends and family already. By the way, cash is king here. IYKYK. Bottom line: Ben goes above and beyond for a very reasonable price. See the photos for proof. Not paid to give this honest review but rather have him gain more business so that he may thrive and continue his excellent work for many years to come.

The Unibody assessor at this Kakaako location said there were only a few shops in town which specialized in Tesla repairs so there was a fairly long wait to get the cars in but I could check around if I was unsatisfied with the wait duration. My only concern was that I only had one headlight and that I would be pulled over and cited for reduced illumination. I actually only had to wait about two months and dropped my car off at the Mapunapuna location before a trip and got my car back a few days after I returned. Their coordination with my insurance company, intake service, communication on repair status, and pickup notification were top notch. Their repair service and attention to detail are also great. Recommended without any reservations.
